The paper proves weaker conditions for global smoothings of special Lagrangian submanifolds with conical singularities.

In this article we study the deformation theory of conically singular Cayley submanifolds. In particular, we prove a result on the expected dimension of a moduli space of Cayley deformations of a conically singular Cayley submanifold. Moreover, when the Cayley submanifold is a two-dimensional complex submanifold of a C…

Proves immediate transversality for conic singularities.

In this paper we study the short time existence problem for the (generalized) Lagrangian mean curvature flow in (almost) Calabi--Yau manifolds when the initial Lagrangian submanifold has isolated conical singularities modelled on stable special Lagrangian cones. Given a Lagrangian submanifold $F_0:L\rightarrow M$ in an…

Classifies rank-one submanifolds in Euclidean space.

The aim of this paper is to extend the definition of geodesics to conical manifolds, defined as submanifolds of $\R^n$ with a finite number of singularities. We look for an approach suitable both for the local geodesic problem and for the calculus of variation in the large

We consider an inverse problem associated with some 2-dimensional non-compact surfaces with conical singularities, cusps and regular ends. Our motivating example is a Riemann surface $\mathcal M = Γ\backslash{\bf H}^2$ associated with a Fuchsian group of the 1st kind $Γ$ containing parabolic elements. $\mathcal M$ is t…

Third in a series, this paper constructs non-trivial Cayley fibrations with conical singularities.

We survey what is known about singularities of special Lagrangian submanifolds (SL m-folds) in (almost) Calabi-Yau manifolds. The bulk of the paper summarizes the author's five papers math.DG/0211294, math.DG/0211295, math.DG/0302355, math.DG/0302356, math.DG/0303272 on SL m-folds X with isolated conical singularities.…

We compute a Bochner type formula for static three-manifolds and deduce some applications in the case of positive scalar curvature. We also explain in details the known general construction of the (Riemannian) Einstein (n+1)-manifold associated to a maximal domain of a static n-manifold where the static potential is po…

Let $M$ be a manifold and $Λ$ a compact exact connected Lagrangian submanifold of $T^*M$. We can associate with $Λ$ a conic Lagrangian submanifold $Λ'$ of $T^*(M\times R)$. We prove that there exists a canonical sheaf $F$ on $M\times R$ whose microsupport is $Λ'$ outside the zero section. We deduce the already known re…

Study finds existence of $Q$-curvature metrics on even-dimensional manifolds with conical singularities.

This paper is a follow-up to an earlier paper math.DG/0410260 on desingularizations of Calabi-Yau 3-folds with a conical singularity. In math.DG/0410260 we study Calabi-Yau 3-folds M_0 with a conical singularity at x modelled on some Calabi-Yau cone V, and construct a desingularization of M_0 by gluing in an Asymptotic…

Given a coassociative 4-fold N with a conical singularity in a varphi-closed 7-manifold M (a manifold endowed with a distinguished closed 3-form varphi), we construct a smooth family, {N'(t): t\in(0,tau)} for some tau>0, of (smooth, nonsingular,) compact coassociative 4-folds in M which converge to N in the sense of cu…

Study Cayley fibrations on Bryant-Salamon $Spin(7)$ manifolds.

We give an example of a homogeneous reflexive sheaf over $\mathbb{C}^3$ which admits a non-conical Hermitian Yang-Mills connection. This is expected to model bubbling phenomenon along complex codimension 2 submanifolds when the Fueter section takes zero value.

Using an approach based on the heat kernel we prove an Atiyah-Bott-Lefschetz theorem for the $L^2-$Lefschetz numbers associated to an elliptic complex of cone differential operators over a compact manifold with conical singularities. We then apply our results to the case of the de Rham complex.

Study on spherical conical metrics and their reducibility on compact Riemann surfaces.

Coassociative submanifolds are 4-dimensional calibrated submanifolds in $G_{2}$-manifolds. In this paper, we construct explicit examples of coassociative submanifolds in $Λ^{2}_{-} S^{4}$, which is the complete $G_{2}$-manifold constructed by Bryant and Salamon. Classifying the Lie groups which have 3- or 4-dimensional…

Study conic singular manifolds, proving Lipschitz normal embedding.

This is the last in a series of five papers math.DG/0211294, math.DG/0211295, math.DG/0302355, math.DG/0302356 studying compact special Lagrangian submanifolds (SL m-folds) X in (almost) Calabi-Yau m-folds M with singularities x_1,...,x_n locally modelled on special Lagrangian cones C_1,...,C_n in C^m with isolated sin…

We investigate the scalar curvature behavior along the normalized conical Kähler-Ricci flow $ω_t$, which is the conic version of the normalized Kähler-Ricci flow, with finite maximal existence time $T<\infty$. We prove that the scalar curvature of $ω_t$ is bounded from above by $C/(T-t)^2$ under the existence of a con…

Proves conditions for positive scalar curvature on certain manifolds with conical singularities.

We consider ``hyperideal'' circle patterns, i.e. patterns of disks appearing in the definition of the Delaunay decomposition associated to a set of disjoint disks, possibly with cone singularities at the center of those disks. Hyperideal circle patterns are associated to hyperideal hyperbolic polyhedra. We describe the…

McLean studied the deformations of compact special Lagrangian submanifolds, showing in particular that they come in moduli spaces whose dimension depends only on the topology of the submanifold. In this article we study the analogous problem for non-compact, "asymptotically conical" SL submanifolds, with respect to var…

Conic singular sub-manifolds are Lipschitz Normally Embedded in compact non-Euclidean manifolds.

We exhibit infinitely many, explicit special Lagrangian isolated singularities that admit no asymptotically conical special Lagrangian smoothings. The existence/ nonexistence of such smoothings is an important component of the current efforts to understand which singular special Lagrangians arise as limits of smooth sp…

The abstract proves spherical surface decompositions with conical singularities.

We study the problem of desingularizing coassociative conical singularities via gluing, allowing for topological and analytic obstructions, and discuss applications. This extends the author's earlier work on the unobstructed case. We interpret the analytic obstructions geometrically via the obstruction theory for defor…

In this article we address a number of features of the moduli space of spherical metrics on connected, compact, orientable surfaces with conical singularities of assigned angles, such as its non-emptiness and connectedness. We also consider some features of the forgetful map from the above moduli space of spherical sur…

Over a compact Kähler manifold, we provide a Fredholm alternative result for the Lichnerowicz operator associated to a Kähler metric with conic singularities along a divisor. We deduce several existence results of constant scalar curvature Kähler metrics with conic singularities: existence result under small deformatio…
